What job does the brain do?

                 The brain is the body’s control centre. It coordinates all the messages that pass through the nervous system, giving us the ability to learn, reason and feel. It also controls the body’s automatic functions such as breathing, heartbeat, digestion, growth and blood pressure.

 

 

Does the brain think like a computer?

                       The brain resembles a computer because it has a memory and generates millions of electrical signals. However, it works in quite a different way from a computer.

                      A computer can calculate accurately, but it can only use the information programmed into it. The brain is able to learn and grow in complexity from the day you are born. Unlike most computers, it is able to make decisions without necessarily having all the information that a computer would need. The brain has powers of imagination and reasoning, but computers are only just acquiring these abilities.
